Changing nature of the Occupation

History of a Social Worker?
Originated in the 19th century as a movement primarily experienced only in
United States and United Kingdom and as age grew it became a new systematic
method to aid social illness.

What is the future of the occupation? Where is it moving?

Most Social Workers are employed in a variety of community and social welfare
fields and can work in state, territory and federal government departments,
some social workers are self-employed working as counsellors, therapist and
consultants.

Suitability
In my opinion judging on who I am now and who I assume ( only guessing on
what Ive seen myself now) I will be in my older years I do think this could be an
occupation and career to do, after all the investigation and what Ive read I think
I suit this job.
Conclusion
To conclude this Investigation and finalize my study , I found it was an extremely
pleasant yet difficult task because I never really knew what a social worker was
until I researched it was a whole new concept and changed what I wanted to do
when I get older. Personally I want to continue into this career because it seems
very suitable for me with having already developed some skills and I do have a
lot of transferrable skills I can bring to the career, so I will continue to go more in
depth to what it is like to be a Social Worker.
